What this shows Toyocolor's Innovation Score is 58.4/100 (top 4% of the PatentsView-derived corpus). The chart places that score against the nearest Innovation Score peers plus corpus poles, not a reprint of the volume ranking.

Does more volume mean deeper claims for Toyocolor?

Each dot is one of Toyocolor’s 8 nearest volume peers (same corpus rank neighbourhood as the chart above), placed by total granted patents (horizontal) against average claims per patent (vertical). Toyocolor’s own 12.3 claims/patent is at or below the 13.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Toyocolor's grants concentrate

Toyocolor Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 34 CPC subclasses with 65.9% of grants classified under C09D (Coating Compositions, e.g. Paints, Varnishes OR LACQUERS; Filling PASTES; Chemical Paint OR INK REMOVERS; INKS; Correcting FLUIDS; WOODSTAINS; Pastes OR Solids FOR Colouring OR PRINTING; USE OF Materi). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (11 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Toyocolor sits between TEH YOR Co., Ltd. and Tata Communications (America) Inc..

Toyocolor's three-year grant acceleration

Toyocolor Co., Ltd. shows 21 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 in 2019–2021. That prior window is too thin for a growth multiple (rename and spin-out assignees look artificially high when the baseline is near zero), so PlainPatent withholds a ranked acceleration claim here.
